This book is Bates's first collection of essays about rural life and gardening, and expresses his passion for nature, his fond memories of early family and boyhood, and the saga of the acquisition of the Kentish granary in 1930 as a family home and the creation of its gardens. Two sections recall visits to the home and garden of his great-grandmother and make the point that love, more than horticultural knowledge, makes the garden.
Herbert Ernest BATES (1905 – 1974) was a prolific British author best known for his stories describing life in the rural Midlands of England, notably his native Northamptonshire. In particular his two volumes of essays entitled 'Through the Woods' and 'Down the River' have been reprinted many times, and his 1958 novella 'The Darling Buds of May' was adapted for the film "The Mating Game" and a TV series "The Larkins".
